Your impact continues to increase every day! \ud83e\udd1d\ud83d\ude4f\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/>Clarke joined PC&#8217;s Limited, which later became Dell Technologies, as a 24-year-old engineer. On LinkedIn, he marked 39 years with the company by writing: \u201c39 years in the books. Walked into PC&#8217;s Limited \u2014 now @Dell Technologies \u2014 as a 24-year-old engineer with a lot to learn. Still learning and more convinced than ever that the best is yet to come. \ud83d\ude42\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/>Michael Dell also shared a longer reply on LinkedIn, writing: \u201c39 years. What a run! It&#8217;s hard to put into words what you&#8217;ve meant to Dell Technologies and to me. You&#8217;ve shaped who we are, pushed us to win again and again, and made everyone around you better. Thank you Jeff Clarke for your continued leadership, your partnership, and your friendship! \ud83d\ude4f\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Jeff Clarke completes 39 years as Dell prepares for One Dell Way transformation<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Clarke&#8217;s anniversary comes months after Dell Technologies announced that it is preparing for changes to its internal systems and processes under its One Dell Way initiative. <!-- -->As reported by Business Insider, Clarke outlined the plan in a memo to employees in January and described it as the \u201cbiggest transformation in company history.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>The initiative is designed to replace Dell&#8217;s multiple apps, servers and databases with a single enterprise platform intended to connect data, reduce silos and standardise processes across the company. Clarke said the changes are expected to provide seamless data flow, reduce repetitive work and speed up decision-making.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>\u201cThis is a comprehensive change, not a gradual transition. Once we start operating in the new way on May 3, we won\u2019t go back,\u201d Clarke wrote in the memo.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The One Dell Way rollout reportedly began on May 3, and it covers Dell&#8217;s Client Solutions Group, finance, supply chain, marketing, sales, revenue operations, services and HR operations. The Infrastructure Solutions Group, which handles cloud offerings, data servers and AI infrastructure, is scheduled to follow in this month.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Dell&#8217;s One Dell Way initiative focuses on AI-driven operations<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Clarke said standardising the company&#8217;s processes is necessary as Dell prepares for an AI-driven business environment. He noted that Dell&#8217;s functional structure had led to multiple approaches to fundamental processes and said the company needs a simplified, automated way of working.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>\u201cFor years, our strong functional orientation meant we built many variations of fundamental processes. That won\u2019t cut it in an AI-driven world. <!-- -->We need one way \u2014 simplified, standardized, and automated \u2014 so we can be more competitive and serve our customers better,\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>A Dell spokesperson told Business Insider that the One Dell Way initiative is intended to \u201csimplify processes, standardize systems, and use automation to create a more connected and efficient organization.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>The company reportedly began employee training for the transition on February 3, with the first phase of the new systems scheduled to go live on May 3. <!-- -->Employees whose roles span both business groups are expected to work with the new processes for the Client Solutions Group while continuing to use legacy systems for the Infrastructure Solutions Group until its August rollout.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>In his memo, Clarke also asked employees to remain open to new systems, embrace standardisation and operate with urgency during the transition.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>\u201cThis is foundational to our success in an AI-driven world, and One Dell Way is how we get there\u2014working as one company, with one set of processes, focused on what matters most,\u201d Clarke wrote.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/technology\/tech-news\/michael-dell-shares-a-special-note-for-coo-jeff-clarke-as-he-completes-39-years-with-the-pc-maker\/articleshow\/133627825.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dell COO and vice chairman Jeff Clarke recently completed 39 years with the PC company.
